7. I am not dumping on you

as I am in Tampa, a city , but one very close to the rural areas. I know many worked hard to get Hillary in. The problem comes in when people (who I cannot name since the os forbids it) come on as self -appointed spokespeople for rural america and say a message that is "those women and minorities are to blame,." This is usually followed by something mealy-mouthed, like "ya better do what we tell ya to do or else you will lose." I know many rural people would laugh at these self -appointed spokespeople, but when those folks get the megaphone, it pours salt into wounds.

You cannot have civil right without economic rights, and vice versa, while some seem to want one and screw the other.
